Well the move has been made and now boyfriend
is in Sacramento with her...do not know what
the "next" plan is.

Indeed, the one section of my roof
that is flat is the only section that
also has a 2 inch "berm" around it...
which when drainage becomes an
issue (frozen water in the downspouts)
it becomes a very heavy load on the
flat roof...last time we had work done
on that roof, we had them cut a 6"
slot out of that berm and I think
that let a lot of the water run
off rather than just sit there being
heavy.
chat with you soon!
